Never having a broken window, I didn't realize it could be so difficult. Hopefully someone that's dealt with it will chime in shortly and be able to assist you better than I.

It's tempered glass that's bonded to the pivot channel. Almost all, if not all glass shops cannot temper glass. They order it pre-fabricated and tempered from a glass fabricator that has DOT certification for their automotive tempered glass. Your window was most likely made by Lippert and can only be purchased through FR and they do not sell replacement glass, just complete windows. Sizes, models, and tints change frequently so the entire window will need to be removed to get the part number off of the unexposed area of the frame.
Sorry to say, but your chances of getting a matching replacement lite of glass by Friday is pretty slim. Even if you were to acquire a new piece of glass I would almost guarantee that the tint will be slightly different. Probably not enough to notice from the exterior or even other windows from the interior but certainly next to the opposing vent. This is one of the reasons the manufacturers insist on replacing the entire window and not the individual lite.
I suggest ordering the window through a dealer and then fabricating a temporary panel from plastic, acrylic, metal, or something to cover the hole. Even cardboard and tons of tape.

I had a similar emergency window replacement problem. I took the window out and had a glass shop fit a plexiglass window pane in the opening. Then I had time for them to order a replacement piece of tempered glass after my camping trip.

Sorry that your window broke. I had one that broke last summer on the top of the world highway. Below is a thread that I replied to about the frame less windows and how to protect them Post #7.

Not sure I agree. The Lippert website has a link "Order Replacement Windows" which links directly to this site. The site appears to do business with the general public and it looks like they would overnight it to you if requested.

Thanks. I stand corrected. Looks like LCI refers you to one of their window companies; Duncan. Curious to see what the cost and and lead time would be and then get a quote from FR.

In both cases, Lippert/Duncan and Forest River, you may be required to buy an entire window, not just the glass.

I have a coachman Miada 35 BH. The two bunkbeds have a side window and they are classified as emergency exits. My copilot failed to give me appropriate directions and in turn the top window met a dumpster and shattered. RV glass is a nationwide network, you can call direct or go through your insurance company and they replaced the glass in my RV.
